What is ZeroTime?

With other crypto-currencies you must wait for some time to pass before the coins are truly yours and spendable. ZeroTime is a breakthrough technology that allows a recipient to immediately not only own the coins but be able to spend them immediately. Furthermore they may be re-spent many times between other recipients before being consolidated into the ledger. Please refer to the white paper for additional information.

What is ChainBlender?

Client-side blending system. Forms a single transaction from multiple parties by merging similar inputs and outputs, and relaying these operations in an encrypted manner between the participants.
